Statistic Poland data was used to calculate the indicators. Data on patients treated in dermatology-venereology clinics between 2019-2021 were taken from the Bulletins of the Ministry of Health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The incidence of gonorrhoea in Poland in 2021 was only a fraction of recorded in the EU\/EEA (0.74 vs. 13.7\/100000)-similar to the first pandemic year and were about half of those notified in the 2019 (the peak year; 281 vs. 522 cases). There were 15.5 men per one female (incidence: 1.6\/100000 men, 0.1\/100000 women). Every second case was among aged 25-34 (49.62%), every fourth-aged 35-44 (23.11%). Under 15, no cases were reported. The predominant site was the genitourinary (excluding missing data: 85.3%). The cases with missing information on transmision increased (49.1%; aged 45+: 72.0%, women: 76.5%). Delays in reporting data were identified (greater than in 2019, however, less than in 2020), ~17% cases were from 2019-2020. Dermatology-venerology clinics treated 385 people - less than in 2020, however, more than reported in epidemiological surveillance (vs. 281).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced on the surveillance system in Poland. There are difficulties in interpreting the epidemiological trend. It is necessary to: 1) intensify systemic solutions in the area of prevention, including sexual partners; 2) raise the awareness of healthcare professionals and sanitary inspection workers on the role of collecting epidemiological information.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.32394\/pe\/183994","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,23]],"date-time":"2024-05-23T12:52:37Z","timestamp":1716468757000},"page":"466-475","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Gonorrhoea in Poland in 2021"],"prefix":"10.32394","volume":"77","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4131-4738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karolina","family":"Zakrzewska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0522-4727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Nied\u017awiedzka-Stadnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"17323","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,10]]},"container-title":["Przeglad Epidemiologiczny"],"original-title":["Rze\u017c\u0105czka w Polsce w 2021 roku"],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-183994-110136","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-183994-110136","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,23]],"date-time":"2024-05-23T12:52:43Z","timestamp":1716468763000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/Rzezaczka-w-Polsce-w-2021-roku,183994,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"alternative-id":["183994"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.32394\/pe\/183994","relation":{},"ISSN":["0033-2100","2545-1898"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0033-2100"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2545-1898"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,10]]}}}
